Ed sits down with Patrick Balsley, addiction counselor and founder of Sana Counseling and Sana House in Charlotte, NC. We dig into his personal recovery journey, why he feels it took more than one stay in treatment, and what changed during that stint that allowed him to remain sober. We briefly venture into what it means to be a “whole” person, how addiction (of any kind) reveals a desire to avoid feeling something, and Patrick shares the role that spirituality has played in his recovery and understanding of himself. Amazing and transparent discussion.
